CROWDS TURNED A VA YFROM DALYS THEATRE
The severe rain storm OF yesterday afternoon pre-
vented people from visiting majority OF the matnees
at the theatres. At house, however the rain
seemed If anything help instead of hindrance In
the history of Days Theatre probably. there never
was seen so large matinee audience. Long before the
curtain rose the in the box-ofhcc had Civ y
business and not even admission tickets were sold
Inside the sight was a remarkable Rows and rows
OF well-dressed women were standing at the back OF
Che orchestra seats, while upstairs the balcony and
gallery packed TO the walls Still the people
came crowding in, asking for seats and admission
tickets, only to be greeted with polite reusals. Be-
tween three and tour hundred applicants were thus re-
fused The play ITSELF the revival OF Shakespearan
eomedy supposed to be useless a whole for modern
melodramatic purposes, went with as much applause
and laughter has attended it since its first night.
There is no doubt that with this production Mr.. DAILY
has reached the high mark Of his tar
as public popularity goes.
